Richie Porte supports Aussie MTB youth development

Nice article on Cycling Tips on Richie Porte putting a little something back into the sport - specifically MTB Youth Development pathways.

http://cyclingtips.com.au/2014/02/richie-porte-p...

Not sure what level of support is being provided, but good to see something coming back.

Back ache from bike setup?

Ok so I have hurt my lower back twice before, not from riding but work and putting shoes on. I bought myself a giant anthem x2 for Xmas and it came from an xc racer so has a low stem. I have no problem with it when I'm riding I actually quite like the setup. But the next day my lower back is agony! I work in construction so I really need my back in good shape. I do core exercises, stretches etc. been to osteopaths and so on. It still hurts. I know it's not the seat height as I know how to set that up. Any ideas? Or some other exercises/stretches I can try?

Cheers
Jon

Gravey

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.

So with Jared graves winning the national xco at radaliade today. Dominating the World Cup gravity enduro in 2014 and being at the sharp end if the dh world for so long surely the peeps at CA who failed to recognise him in the cyclists of the year awards last year need to rethink their criteria.

Places That Rock

Sorry if this has been posted already. A friend put me onto the AMB magazine giving a brief intro to 50 Places That Rock around Australia. What a hard decision it must have been selecting the 50 that were included, but Manly Dam is included with the 2 other Sydney trails. My other favourite spot, Kiwarrack, where I just spent 3 fantastic 3 days, is also included. Its a great magazine and if you're looking for places to ride, the magazine is a great place to start then perhaps do more of your own research.

Heading to the Rotorua Redwoods for a hit and run - all tips welcomed!!

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

Hi Everyone (not sure what category I should have put this post)

Im heading to the Rotorua Redwoods the weekend after next for a hit and run. Saturday afternoon and Sunday until I can't ride no more (so maybe lunch).

Im hiring because I have the work trip from hell either side of Rotovegas and don't want to be lugging the bike box around. I'm staying at the Alpin and have a car.

New York City

Does anyone know of any good 1/2 day or 1 day adventures from or around New York?

Possibly there in April for other reasons than riding but may go insane without burning off some energy.

Open to non-riding adventures too.

Help from the Trail Gurus!

I plan to ride from Northbridge to Palm Beach (where you get the ferry from) and would like those of you who know the trails well to help me try and fit in a whole lot of trail riding where I can rather than being on the road. Any little bit will make the ride better so don't hold back!
